Man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in Cardiff

ENCINITAS  A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in a shooting Friday night in Cardiff that was apparently related to domestic violence, the Sheriff’s Department said.

About 6:05 p.m., deputies responded to a call of a shooting inside a home on Oxford Avenue near Dublin Drive, said sheriff’s Sgt. Jack Reynolds. Upon arriving, deputies found a 40-year-old woman who had been shot. She was flown by medical helicopter to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, said sheriff’s Sgt. Jack Reynolds.

Deputies found the suspect, identified as Mark Coordt, nearby and took him into custody. He had a gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital by ground ambulance. His wound was not considered life-threatening, Reynolds said.

An investigation was continuing.

A neighbor who did not want to be named told KGTV Channel 10, a media partner of the Union-Tribune, that the woman came running into a yard screaming for help and had gunshot wounds in the shoulder and wrist, and that the man had turned the gun on himself.
